Do you need to kill to be a part of the wilderness, then?

Is that what I said? No, it is not.

You asked what I enjoyed most, and I answered. If you have an issue with hunting, why not start an actual conversation about it and give your own views instead of going for the attempt at a childish "gotcha".

So killing is less fun than being a part of the wilderness, but it's still fun?

Eating what I kill is fun. Knowing I am doing good for the wilds, both by action and the extra taxes I pay, is fun. I have lots of fun out there.

But your singular search for whether I have fun killing is simply more of the same from you.

Tell me, are you a vegetarian?

Did I say I'm a vegetarian?

You said you enjoy hunting, didn't you?

Since it's possible to enjoy the wilderness without killing, and you can obtain meat without killing, why do you kill?

Unless you are only eating roadkill or animals that died of natural causes, you cannot eat meat without killing. The question is whether or not you pay someone to kill the animal for you or whether you kill it yourself.

I also enjoy a house free from vermin. Does this mean I enjoy killing roaches and rats?

Non sequitur. Do you treat your own sewage, or grow your own wheat? Those are not enjoyable activities, yet they are necessary, so I pay others to do both.

I and many others eat meat without killing. I just ate meat, and I killed nothing.

Why do you want to kill animals?

Do you? Please tell me you don't eat them, too.

You kill animals. You are not so naive as to think you don't. You PAY someone to kill the animals you eat.


While I do kill animals, I also save many more animals.

I eat animals that have been killed by others.

I don't want or need to kill them myself.

Have you wiped the blood of an animal on your childs cheeks?

So paying someone else to kill the animals you eat absolves you of your guilt? lol

What guilt? I pay someone to launder my clothing. No guilt there either. Try again.

Nor would anyone feel guilty for doing laundry. Not really much of a comparison, is it?

The truth be told, killing the animal I am hunting is the least enjoyable part. I go to great effort to make sure the kill is as humane as possible. The good done far outweighs any bad.

But it's still fun, isn't it? For you, I mean, not the animal.

BTW, do you wipe the blood of your kill on your kids face?

Animal blood is used in many types of human food. Do you have a problem with killing animals for food?

I have never claimed killing the animals to be fun. It is part of the hunt. I also love to canoe, but carrying the canoe up and down steep hills is not the fun part.

And no, I have never wiped an animal's blood on anyone's face.

My question was directed to WB, not you.

Wiping fresh blood from a killed animal on a childs face has nothing to do with the presence of blood in food.

But you are aware of the practice of "blooding", aren't you?

And you did say hunting was fun, and killing is part of it.
